Yellowknife Burger Week 2024: Get the menu, watch videos

Yellowknife Burger Week runs from September 25 until October 5, with nine restaurants going all out on recipes featuring beef, lobster, paneer, pork belly and bison, to name a few.

Just when you thought we were going to let a whole year go by without a burger frenzy, Burger Week is back. This year, it’s a fall edition!

Watch all of our Burger Week videos to see what you’ll get at each location.

How to take part

From September 25 to October 5, visit participating restaurants – we’ve listed the locations and burgers below – to sample the burgers and to pick up a passport.

To enter the prize draw, collect at least three stamps on your passport from three different restaurants. You get a stamp whenever you purchase a participating burger over the course of the 11-day event.

You’re welcome to submit more than one passport. For example, you can fill one passport with three stamps from three restaurants, then start a new passport to collect another three stamps and gain a second entry.

Once you collect the minimum number of stamps, drop off your passport at a participating location or at Cabin Radio’s studios (open 9am-5pm weekdays at 5007 50 Avenue, Yellowknife).

You must drop off your passport by Monday, October 7 to be included in the prize draw.

Who you’re helping

A portion of the proceeds from each burger will be donated to this year’s charity, the YK Food Bank.

Last year, Burger Week raised almost $11,000 for the NWT SPCA.

This year’s prizes

You could win:

• two round-trip tickets on Canadian North from Yellowknife to Edmonton;
